Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is an acute mosquito-borne viral zoonosis that causes cyclical epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa, with recent incursions into the Arabian Peninsula. Outbreaks of RVF are associated with above average rainfall and flooding, in which large numbers of vectors emerge. Recent stu...

Challenges in intensifying India smallholder dairy production: Health risks and productivity gaps
Over two thirds of all human infectious diseases have their origins in animals. The rate at which these zoonotic diseases have appeared in people has increased over the past 40 years, with at least 43 newly identified outbreaks since 2004. In 2012, outbreaks included Ebola in Uganda (see Ebola bo...

Poultry is important for many poor smallholders, but infectious diseases, such as Newcastle disease, can drastically reduce the poultry population in a village and affects the food security and the livelihood of many farmers. Newcastle disease vaccination can reduce the spread of disease, but may...
